Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to "I Like the Likes of You" (is it by the Gershwins)? Many thanks. Sheila

Hmmm, still looking. All the places I was sure would have them don't...Lester Levy's site doesn't have the music avail due to it not being public domain.....

Hi Sheila,

Lester Levy collected sheet music and wound up with a large collection dating from the mid to late 1800's onward. The collection is online at the following address http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/index.html

other "Vintage music sites" as I term them are:

Historic American Sheet Music (Duke University) http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sheetmusic/

and Music For a Nation (Library of Congress) http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/smhtml/smhome.html

I have requested a songbook from the "local library" (Los Angeles) which has the song, so hopefully I will have the lyrics for you by early next week....unless someone else beats me to the post.

Cheers,

Mary

I LIKE THE LIKES OF YOU
(words by E.Y. Harburg, Music by Vernon Duke)

I like the likes of you,
I like the things you do
I mean, I like the likes of you.

I like your eyes of blue,
I think they're blue, don't you?
I mean, I like the likes of you.

Bridge: Oh, dear, if I could on-ly say what I mean.
I mean, if I could mean what I say,
That is I mean to say that I mean to say that…

I like the likes of you,
Your looks are pure deluxe.
Looks like I like the likes of you.
